Biography
Furqaan Murad was born in al-Bireh, Mandatory Palestine (present-day West Bank, Palestine) to a Greek Orthodox Christian family. Murad's family was safe from eviction during the Israeli War of Independence, and Murad joined the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964 to fight for the independence of Palestine from Israel. Murad became a member of the upper echelon of the organization, and he was one of the men sent to recruit for Fatah France. During Operation Wrath of God, he was one of the targets that Mossad pursued due to his links to terrorism in France against Jews.

On 22 May 1989, Furqaan Murad was killed by ten shots to the throat and chest from .22 caliber Beretta pistols fired by three gunmen while he was leaving his house in Paris. Murad's death was a part of a larger campaign of Mossad assassinations that were aimed at avenging the 1972 Munich Massacre by taking out all Palestinian terrorist leaders.
